Than most. And I love that about him. But. While we were away for his bff bday trip last wkend he really gets it across that he doesn't want me to do anything for his "birthdy". So I asked if I cld just make him dinner one day...totally he says. So today I text him. Just being playful. When I fnd out he didn't want any bday celebrations. Fine. We cld stay in and hang out all wkend. But I made some flirty jokes. Being a good gf. And thought we cld take that route...nope. he wasn't having any of it. Which is fine....but a cpl wks ago I bought him some new jeans and a belt. I had planned on not wrapping it up already. Just kind of leaving it out casually. If it can be..........but now that its so close..and he's gotten more serious about my not doing anything for him. I‘m worried he might even be offended no matter how I get it to him. Maybe I cld lv them in his laundry basket at the end of the wkend. B4 I lv...then its not his bday......I just don't know.. I wanna respect his wishes...but he really needs new jeans..and there must be a way to give them without offending....especially cause it seems like he's been hurt. Not just that he doesn't believe....HELP!! Please. So I’ve been dating this guy almost a yr now…he’s kind of a hippie…so his way of thinking is diff. Than most.

Today is my birthday and I'm ignoring everyone. What makes it worse is when people or friends who never call you to hang out or to see how your doing call you to say happy birthday. It's such bullshit! The worse thing about this year is that my father went on a trip out of the country. Before he left he basically let me know that all the effort I've been putting into a business venture would be for nothing and that he believed I would fail. I was very upset and told him not to speak to me and since then I haven't spoken to him until last night when he called me to say guess what... "Happy Birthday! I'm proud of you!" Which to me is bullshit because he has told me explicitly that he is not proud of me in the past. I know for a fact he's calling because a) He feels obligated to do so... and b) He thinks that saying he's proud of me on my birthday will make up for all the times he's said otherwise. Disgusting! Don't get me wrong, I love my father very much, but I find it very sad that people will treat you differently on your birthday than the way they would treat you on any other day. You want to show someone your happy they are alive for another year? Let them know a handfull of the other 364 days of the year and it might actually mean something! Guys, I hate birthdays too.

I never want them celebrated or acknowledge. My birthday was a few weeks ago and my boss sent an email to everyone . Let's just say. I was furious I took my crap and found an empty workstation on another floor, shut off my email, and basically spent the day all pissed off. I also received several cards which will sit unopened in a drawer. Honestly, just write happy birthday on a five dollar bill instead of spending it on a stupid card I agree that I hate birthdays as well. I never want them celebrated or acknowledge.

I don't hate other peoples birthdays, I'll wish them happy birthday send a card or something or is a close friend/ family get them something. I even quite enjoy doing that. But mine... I'd rather it went unnoticed. It's not getting older. I feel ancient anyway. it's the fuss. I don't like the attention. Unfortunately my mother is one of those people who like to make a fuss of these things, and even after all these years I can't escape it. At last someone who agrees with me.

I hate birthdays. Its my birthday today, I'm 22. I googled 'i get disappointed on my birthday' to see what came up, because once again my mum and dad have successfully managed to make me feel completely miserable on my birthday. Quite simply with presents! I hate presents! Very rarely do you receive a present that you actually like. I'd rather do with out! This sounds terribly ungrateful, but I'd honestly rather have the cash or nothing at all then be disappointed year after year. Its gut wrenching and heart breaking knowing that I'm either gonna have to accept shit presents and never use them or I'm gonna have to seem like an ungrateful prick and ask to exchange them! This year I got a push bike (i'd purposely made a point of saying i didn't want them to buy me a bike because i would never use it), an oversized tshirt (year after year my mum seems to like to buy L when all I need is M) and a shitty little mug that reads something about 'another day, another disaster' ironic really as its pretty much what the mug has made my day.. a disaster. Oh great.. another mug. Its always the same, year after year, since I was little. They would either get me something i didnt want at all, or something close to what i actually did want. I hate birthdays and cannot wait for this one to be over! I agree. I hate birthdays. Its my birthday today, I’m 22.

Who cares? I gave up having a "Happy Birthday" when I was around 10. Ever since i tell everyone to leave me alone, don't buy me anything and for some reason they just don't get it. Same with christmas..... So here it is today, they ask why I look pissed or mad. Gee, dunno. Could be everyone going out of their way to wish me the happy birthday. I have said again and again, if you want me to have a happy birthday, then just leave me alone! I never get that gift.So I have to deal with crap that I don't want. Well, my birthday today. 47.
